Santa Clara River (California)
The Santa Clara River is approximately 83 miles (134 km) long, located in southern California in the United States. It drains an area of the coastal mountains north of Los Angeles. The Santa Clara is one of the largest river systems along the coast of Southern California and one of only a few remaining river systems in the region that remain in their natural states and not channelized by concrete. The northern basin of this river was home to most of the Tataviam people.

Famous quotes containing the words santa and/or river:
“On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.”
—Johnny Mercer (1909–1976)
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
